Why Is It That Leaves Fall?

Why is it that leaves fall? Why do trees decide to throw out their unwanted clothing? To bask in the embrace of their nude bodies. You see, when the days get a bit cooler in the fall, that means the nights will begin to draw in as well. And then comes the big, hot blast of winter. And when we finally hit spring, then summer will be here.

This pattern brings new life and renewal and rebirth to us.The cycle repeats itself time and time again. This cycle is a time when trees prepare to get back on their feet. They let go of their old clothes to make room for their new ones. And we can see the beginning of our new body in the falling leaves.

The leaves on the trees are symbolic of the "I" changing. The leaves fall to reveal the new body and the trees get naked to prepare for their new leaves. In a way, the leaves don't fall, the tree has fallen and that is how new leaves come in. As the old leaves are dropped off, the tree gets a clean slate and is ready for new.

You are getting new and you are getting rid of the old. You are giving up on the old body that no longer serves you, and going with the new. And in that transition of letting go and embracing the change, is where we find our power.

The tree shows us that when we are faced with something, when we are no longer comfortable, we must change to survive. If we are no longer able to accept the situation, if we are no longer able to deal with the problem, we must let go.

This lets us find a new way of life. A new way of being. Letting go of what no longer serves us. The tree is willing to change because it is not trying to just survive, it wants to live. It wants to flourish. And so it opens up to a new way of life, of being. Sometimes when we are faced with something that doesn't make sense to us, or is no longer working for us, we can't change.

We are unwilling to change, and so we cling to what is not working. But the tree will let go, and it will try something new. It will open up to a new way of being. It is okay to go against the flow, to go against what we know. The tree takes a chance. It goes against the status quo.

Sometimes we must go against what is comfortable and what is safe. So we must do this. This is a time to start over. This is a time to be bold, and make a change. The tree shows us that we must be willing to change. If you can't change what you are doing, change the way you do it.

If you find yourself clinging to old ways, make sure you are doing them, but then change the way you do it. You must go against the flow to create your own new reality. You must be willing to make a change. So what can you do when your old ways are not serving you any longer? When you are tired of repeating the same patterns over and over, when you are tired of going against the current, of feeling powerless?

You can let go of what is not working for you and use your power to create a new reality for yourself. This is what you must do. The tree is not scared, and it is not weak. It is standing up, taking a chance, and doing the exact opposite of what is comfortable and what is safe. You must be willing to do the exact opposite of what is safe.

This is a time to use your power, to do something bold, to change. The tree can do this because it is not afraid. It has confidence in who it is. It does not have any fear in facing something new and exciting. It has faith in the power that it has inside of it to make it what it wants to be. The tree shows us that we must have faith in ourselves. It is okay to open up to a new world, to go against the current.

It is okay to be afraid, to fear a change in your life, to be afraid of making a change.

It is okay to hold on, to struggle with letting go, to not know what you are doing, to not understand why you are doing what you are doing.

But sometimes it is also okay to do the exact opposite of that. To take a risk. To go against what you know. To open up and do something bold. To say no to things that no longer serve you. To say yes to things that work for you. To stop waiting for a magical moment and make it happen.

Sometimes you must be willing to put your faith in yourself and step out of your comfort zone.

It is okay to go against what we know, it is okay to do something new and different. It is okay to be willing to take a chance.

Remember, you must go against what you know, but you must also go with what you know.

And that is why the leaves fall.
